That's a bunch of crap brought up by tin foil hat wearing people who blame 'them'' for all ills.
In the US they where created for 1 reason. So poor people could get around. Everyone else had a car. That's why they are so screwed up now when other wise car owning people use them. It made sense to have them at a county level then. Today? that make no sense oat all. Mass transit need to be ran, architects, and paid for at the state level. Ending the cross county bullshit, and a lot of problem go away.
What they use now to get approval is the idea that they are some how environmentally friendly. They aren't, especially buses. IT's FAR more environmentally friendly of everyone on the bus drove a car instead.
You are almost always better off buying one way at the airport.
IT's usually cheaper, something you can get first class for less then people paid for coach. The down side is the flight you want may be full so you need to wait for a seat.
I stop doing that becasue the security of having a seat* out weighed the possibility of wait in an airport with kids. Now that I think about it, I seldom didn't get the flight I wanted. hmmm.
All those thing take time, and may not be possible due to other limitation. Like, digging another tunnel is freaking expensive, or there isn't any more space on the rail during rush.
it isn't an important message. This is a web site, and people are intentionally polluting the comments. I wonder if they boycott their favorite restaurant when they change the carpet?
Beta rules, I'd never go back to classic
I wish I had access to the/. database. I want to see how many people posting have even looked at it, and I want to see hom man of these AC come from the same IP.
"The Beta is harder to read and harder to comment on." how so? I find it to be the opposite.
"There is too much whitespace, and not enough text." And...?
"Has anyone seen even one single thing you could count as an improvement?" sure. The look, the design, it's faster, easier to read, and far more appealing to a newer generation.
"The new design adds useless eye candy" opinion. I like it.
"makes it harder to skim through the posts to find the ones that interest me" That tells me that you are stupid and also that you haven't looked at the new features. It's no harder to skim now then it was last year, or last millennium.
" Slashdot works really, really well as-is." Arguable, but so what? It works even better now.
I was expecting to hate it, but after looking at the new features and design, and using it(so much more responsive) I absolutely love it.
Slashdot Mirror
that sells certain types of paddles.
Canoe paddles.
What?

So your argument is tax people who don't use them and have them operated by slaves?
If you get round trip from A to C, then the return must be from C.
airline pricing is screwball.
To begin with it's too dam cheap, and this is killing the airlines, and making t a miserable way to travel.

How is exchanging tickets fraud?
take into account the price of Public transportation when deciding where to live? I could save a buck by living in a crappier neighborhood! I'm in.
Interesting idea. I suspect the person the implements an easy way to find and exchange using an app will become a millionaire.
it's about hyper sonic. To be considered hypersonic, a missile must travel at speeds of between Mach 5 and Mach 10, or 3,840–7,680 miles per hour.
Super sonic means exceeding the speed of sound, mach 1.
the missile defense system can't be improved to deal the hyper sonic missiles.
Your mention is Usenet was there because you think being around longed equals smarter. Clearly it does not. For proof, Just read your posts.
You know those article have been debunked, right?

Dumb shits.
whiner.
they make a slightly altered version. The other version would still be available to use.
Of course your claim doesn't really happen, and it shows you don't know anything about patents especially regarding pharmaceuticals.
Here, this may help you:

Oh, right, you think you speak for the community.
Are you stupid? that is not a constructive suggestion. It's a statement.
Are you really that stupid?

You are the first post I read that actual says something constructive instead of a pouty temper tantrum.

"when it looks just fine"
said every old and useless curmudgeon about every thing.
It's just as simple to use and that old interface, it uses the screen better,
What so hard, you add a comment, preview, submit.
What, exactly, is confusing you?
to maintain the old crappy site and the new modern awesome site.
Work isn't free, the site isn't free, servers aren't free.
Got it?
